I had a set of saw horses with really long legs, maybe four feet or so, designed for use as a scaffold for working on something specific, periodically. Otherwise they were just used to store stuff while working on a job. I had them on some project I had hired the Mennonites to do. Came home and they had cut the legs off my saw horses! I was annoyed as much as I thought it funny, but never said a word, nor did they.

I love steel saw horses for all kinds of things, but prefer something of wood when using a circular saw, for obvious reasons.

I can't work with wood to save my life!

I am the opposite of you, wood I'm pretty good at... never learned the metal side of things. Wish I had, and wish I had a welder.. but I don't.

That's OK. I'm fixing to blow myself up using a plasma on a petroleum tank. No such dangers working wood.

Or just cross my legs like a woman, same as when I inflate a tire. Protect the boys from the blast zone!

I guess if you have an older sister you learn that early on.

I have had my tablesaw spit out a 4' sliver that punched a hole in the wall, never stand behind it always to the side.

I traded my table saw to a friend for a metal chop saw because it scared me. Went to his place to get some plastic ripped and ended up in the ER anyway. Stuff caught, shattered and got ejected at high speed.

Feather boards are your friend when using table saws and edgers etc...
